Sugar Shack, Dine & Discover

Maple Syrup from Plant to Plate Learn how one of Canada’s largest exports, maple syrup, is made during a visit to an authentic sugar shack. A Quebecois cultural tradition, sugar shacks originated during the 19th century as a practical location for making maple syrup during the spring thaw. Join your guide and set out for a sugar shack nestled within the scenic Mont Saint-Grégoire region to experience a taste of Quebec’s culinary and cultural heritage. On arrival, you will be greeted by your host and seated for a hearty feast, including classic dishes such as pea soup, ham, baked beans and pancakes, all generously drizzled with maple syrup. After, watch a live demonstration of the traditional syrup-making process that has been adopted and passed down through the generations. See how maple sap is transformed into syrup, then take a short drive to a nearby orchard to sample some of the estate’s refreshing cider. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
